Bonjour,
I like very much this little app.
When you want to mount a SFS file (bad version) in ROX, may be is it possible to modify /usr/sbin/filemnt to launch SFSconvert and convert the SFS file and then mount it.
Cordialement

and it appeared in Bootmanager
so I was able to add and reboot
The icons appeared for Openoffice (but just blank script icons - not full colour ones)
Clicking on them - nothing
also right mouse click not working
no menu options working
OK so tried ctrl + alt + backspace
NO!
Had to turn off machine (reset button not connected)
So that is a complete freeze

On reboot my two save files (running from CD)
came up
but keyboard(USB) was not responding

Puppy up and running from new install in a few minutes incidentally . . . _________________YinYana AI Buddhism

As hope in the future, if possible, I think that it only has visually to understand the progress report on message splash window "Please wait until this box is closed" screen under conversion.
For instance, it is "Percent display" or "Graph bar display".

It would also be a nice enhancement to add a checkbox so the user can choose not to add -sfs4 in the name... although it doesn't really matter as it isn't an app you use every day
Also, a checkbox to rename the original sfs would be nice - that way if you're upgrading to a new puppy you can just replace all your old squashfiles with new ones, keeping a backup, and won't need to rename them manually._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

I imagine it is because you only have the squashfs tools from Puppy 4.0, so can't extract or create newer squashfiles... or have you got the newer tools from somewhere?_________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Please help!
Sfs converter don't work for me,i am using puppy 4.0. All I get is txt file.
How to use this hack ?
Thanx!

The utility works well for me except for converting an OpenOffice sfs with lzma compression - the one I use for the NOP variant. Is lzma compression the issue or is it the huge size of the sfs file? I don't know, but i'm sharing this for others to take note of when using this wonderful utility and also for trio to have a look at...

Probably the lzma... was there plenty of space on the drive you converted it on?
How did it fail?

BTW Diamond, you could try using the squashfs tools from 4.3, although I'm not certain that they will work in 4.0. Does anyone know? Or has anyone packaged them for 4.0?

Also, for information: I discovered that Puppy 4.3 can't use files with .SFS extensions (rather than .sfs), even though 4.1x can._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

This is great for people that are using 4.3 or newer, but is not much use for people on earlier systems. I'm running 4.1.2, so I cant use this; which sucks cause I really need to.
I guess my only choice is to install a 4.3 system somewhere for the sole purpose of converting newer SFS4 files to SFS so I can use them on my older system. Kinda an obtuse way to get around the problem, but apparently the only solution. While I dont mind doing it for my purpose (trying to install a newer kernel), Im sure there are a ton of people that once they hit this roadblock will just give up. Installing an entire OS no matter how small just to convert one or two files is a lot of effort.

But the general idea of this converter is great. I just wish there was a way that we all could benefit from it. Thanks to the OP who created this program! If it wasnt for you work I wouldnt be able to do what I want to do, even though it'll be work intensive.

hi disciple,

there was 1 gb free on the drive i converted on.
with the lzma'd sfs (OpenOffice), the resulting file was only the one for checking checksum.
the rest of the sfs files (not using lzma compression) converted ok.
